    GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: A CEE study looks at changes in an area through time and how these changes affect resources in that area. This study will look at how past, present and reasonably foreseeable future changes affect eight protected species found within Southwest Florida. The purpose of this meeting is to review proposed study area boundaries and to identify potential parameters that may be used in the development of species-specific habitat models.
